Claude Nasr was born in Lebanon and lived there until age 22. She attended the Milo Institute in Lebanon where she graduated in 1995. Claude then worked as an esthetician for a year specializing in European facials, professional make-up, electrolysis and massage therapy. She learned lymphatic drainage techniques and slimming treatments.
Claude later opened her own skin care clinic in 1997 in Lebanon. She managed her time between her spa and marketing for Tamer Group which is a cosmetic company, for three years.
In 2000 Claude moved to the United States. She joined Nicola of London in February of 2002. She really enjoys working with pre and post surgical patients which allows her to utilize her specialization in lymph drainage. Claude is excited about helping people achieve the skin care results they desire. This is one reason that Claude likes working with the Slimline machine which tones muscles creating a firm and lifted appearance and increases lymph drainage.
Claude is continuing her education by participating in classes to learn the latest beauty techniques, such as treatments for Rosacea and new peel techniques. She looks forward to meeting youand discussing your skin care concerns so that she can work out the best treatment plans possible.
